Life Reset: I’m the Master in the Officialdom

"Comrade Wentao, please come to my office."

As soon as the phone was connected, the deep voice of Mayor Chen Liang was heard.

Wentao couldn't help but feel a little confused. His work usually had nothing to do with the mayor. What was the matter with the mayor suddenly summoning him?

For some reason, Wentao had an inexplicable feeling of not wanting to get close to the mayor, a feeling that was hard to describe!

When they arrived at the mayor's door, the mayor's chief secretary Tian Yingying was already waiting in the corridor and guided Wentao into Chen Liang's office.

Tian Yingying is considered the "flower" of the municipal government. She is in her thirties and is very charming.

There is an unwritten rule within the system that male leaders are not worthy of female secretaries, but Mayor Chen does not seem to be afraid of rumors.

Not only is he paired with a female secretary, but he's also a "beautiful female secretary!"

As Wentao entered, Chen Liang appeared very enthusiastic and immediately stood up to greet him: "Comrade Wentao, please take a seat. Yingying will go pour Secretary Wen a cup of tea."

Seeing Chen Liang's somewhat pretentious look, Wentao felt even more disgusted.

It's standard for secretaries to pour tea when guests arrive, but this instruction makes it seem even more "insincere!"

"Comrade Wentao, since you came to our Fangcheng City Discipline Inspection Commission, the work of the Commission has indeed made great progress. Moreover, under your guidance, the atmosphere in our Fangcheng City has also become better. Your achievements are worthy of praise..."

Wen Tao was a little confused by Chen Liang's words. For a moment he didn't know what the mayor was up to.

Wen Tao had no choice but to respond modestly: "Mayor, you are too kind. This is the result of the joint efforts of all comrades in our Discipline Inspection Commission."

Chen Liang asked some irrelevant questions before getting to the point.

"Comrade Wentao, this is the report letter I received in my 'Mayor's Mailbox'. Please take a look."

Wentao took the letter of complaint in surprise.

Logically speaking, letters of complaint in the mayor's mailbox would generally be screened by staff and transferred directly to the Commission for Discipline Inspection. The mayor only deals with people's livelihood issues. How did this letter end up in the hands of this mayor?

Although he was confused, Wentao still opened the letter of complaint and started reading it.

The content of the report letter is probably about reporting the problem of Tang Ming, deputy director of the Fangcheng Municipal Government Office, setting a fixed price and buying and selling official positions.

This... the deputy director of the municipal government office, isn't this the mayor's housekeeper!

Isn't it true that family disgrace should not be made public?

Isn't Mayor Chen shooting himself in the foot by doing this?

What's more, what power does the deputy director of a municipal government office have to buy official positions? What can he arrange?

Although he didn't understand what Mayor Chen was up to, this kind of case was a piece of cake for Wen Tao. If Tang Ming was really like that, he could just investigate and handle the case according to the rules and regulations. It would basically not be difficult.

"Okay, Mayor, we'll start the investigation right away," Wentao said.

Chen Liang nodded in satisfaction, an irresistible smile appeared on his face. He praised Wen Tao a few more words and enthusiastically saw Wen Tao out the door.

Back in his office, Wentao thought for a long time, but he really couldn't understand what the mayor meant.

Why should I investigate my own deputy director of the office?

I simply stopped thinking about it and asked Kang Cheng to call Sun Ping'an over.

"Secretary, this matter is not easy to investigate!" Sun Ping'an looked at the content of the report and spoke immediately.

Although Wentao was mentally prepared, Sun Ping'an still whetted his appetite.

"Tell me in detail!" Wen Tao asked anxiously.

"This Tang Ming is no ordinary person! We have a Tang family in Fangcheng. The patriarch of the Tang family, Tang Rufeng, was once the Party Secretary of our Fangcheng. He has countless disciples within our Fangcheng system."
